I had wrists donning slits   Flowing constantly   My broken body in a wreck   Wrapped around a tree      A crosswalk hit and run   The finish line for me   When people clutter in the gutter   Take a look and see      No escaping pain   You belong to me   Clinging on to life   By the skin of my teeth      No escaping pain   You belong to me   Clinging on to life   By the skin of my teeth      My blood flows through the streets   Deluge from the wounds   Empty jars of sleeping pills   On the dresser in my room      My wet brain neighbor cranes   His neck to see in time   The white light's a train   Bearing down on me      No escaping pain   You belong to me   Clinging on to life   By the skin of my teeth      No escaping pain   You belong to me   Clinging on to life   By the skin of my teeth      I won't feel the hurt   I'm not trash any longer   That that doesn't kill me   Only makes me stronger      I need a ride to the morgue   That's what 911 is for   Tag my toe and don't forget   Ooh, to close the drawer      No escaping pain   You belong to me   Clinging on to life   By the skin of my teeth      No escaping pain   You belong to me   Clinging on to life   By the skin of my teeth
